I forgot to mention that a week ago Will and I attended a charity golf dinner thingy which supported the STaR program which Will attended before he went to school. STaR is very special to our family and it's past president and current general manager M is a great friend.

Last year Will was invited to speak at a Stockbrokers Foundation fundraising evening as they are a major sponsor of the STaR Association. Will's little speech about how the program helped him raised over $50,000 for STaR that evening.

Last week he was invited to do a similar speech at the Monstar post-golf day dinner. The highlight of the evening for Will (and for me) was meeting Barry Hall (co-captain of the Sydney Swans, amazing AFL player and generally nice guy). Barry was charming and Will couldn't get the grin off his face. It was a wonderful evening and hopefully raised around $40,000 for STaR.





















For added excitement a photo very similar to this one appeared in the social pages of The Sunday Telegraph this past Sunday. My son, the social butterfly, hobnobbing with the rich and famous.
